Caughley in addressing members of the Wellington District Institute on t/he new grading scheme (reports the ■Dominion). "The same routine, supervision, and work has to be gone through in instructing 35 Children as in the case of a school of 703," he continued. He was speaking on the question of grading assistants the same as sole teachers, and said that the assistant did not have to use his powers of organisation, whereas the sole teacher ibad' to exercise all his powers in this direction. Under the-cir-cumstances the assistant should not expect to get the same number of organisation' marks as the country school teacher. The former always had the head master to apply to if in difficulties. O'n the other hand, the sole teacher had to rely entirely on his own initiative. "Nearly one-third' of the teachers in New Zealand are uncertificated;" said Mr CaughIcy. Ho mentioned that his argument against only one certificate being issued to teachers was that it was essential that a series of examinations should be held so that the 'best teachers could be found. Tt would l also give the younger teachers some object to /work for. "NAZOL" may be imitated, .but it is st'ill unequalledi -for relieving coughs, colds, catarrh and sore throats.
